# Quick Start

**Create Your First API Key**

Navigate to your profile and create a new API key. When creating a key, you can:

* Assign a **Name** to easily identify and manage multiple keys.
* Set an **Expiration Date** to enhance security and control access.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Can't see the API Keys section?**\
API keys are available only for **Business accounts** with an active API subscription.
{% endhint %}

**Start Using the API**

Your API key is now ready to use.

Once you've configured the allowed IP addresses, expiration date, and any additional security settings, you can immediately begin accessing our APIs, tools, and services.

**You're all set!** Your API key is active and ready to connect with our global intelligence, enrichment, and threat analysis platforms. 🚀
